My wife and I are engaged in commencing a micro farming enterprise. we have been working towards this for a few years now. We certainly know what it means to try to head in a direction that appears so obvious but so few people around us appear to yet be aware of as an option.
Your book found its way in to our life (a purchase not a gift *lol*) and wanted to say thank you. The information was indispensable in helping us to formulate our business plan going forward. It has helped us to not feel overwhelmed and to keep our focus on the simple steps we need to take.
This series of videos was a spectacular addition to the book and gave the additional touches we needed to have confidence that we have reasonably understood what you have shared. Thank you so much to you and your wife for your desire not only to "do" but to "share".
You are my celebrity. My partner and I have just purchased a 3 acre lot just outside Almonte Ontario, and will have a home built on it in the fall. Our dream is to be self-sufficient and to have a small homestead that includes growing all types of crops and having goats and chickens.
I hope to meet you one day and I look forward to reading your book cover to cover.
Get a Mini Jersey cow for cheese and milk too :)

Really inspiring video. Thank you for sharing!
First of all THANK YOU. This video made my night. This video is very good, this got a very good light in my horizon.

Yay!! I've been reading and rereading your book, so I'm very excited to find these videos! Thank you so much for your generosity!
thanks so much.. this is very inspiring, and important!
im very keen for part 2!!!
Hi Jean-Martin, hello from San Diego California, thanks for your videos and inspiration. I'm planning to move to the city's outskirts and do my small farm but first I'm educating my self before making that step, it's such a wonderfull feeling to get in touch with nature and its fruits and to see the rewards that soil gives us when we work it properly.
Extremely interesting presentation. This guy lives in my region. His topic was a revelation for me. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Très intéressante intervention, merci beaucoup
superbe anecdote de Jean-Luc qui à rencontrer une superbe canadienne Française !!! il viendras une autre fois .
Just bought your book now on my Kendal thank you 👍❤️😁
Jean=Martin, thank you for your videos...Thank you very much!! Teresa
I am enjoying these videos so much, thank you for sharing all this information! What an adventure you have created. (beekeeper & hobby farmer in Oklahoma, hopeful to enter a local market soon)
Hi neighbor I'm also in Oklahoma and am also interested in doing this on my two acres =< ]
Great video. Thanks for all the wonderful information.
Outstanding. You are an inspiration, JM.
I LOVE this book
Thank you for such a pure gold material. I'd really like to contribute caption translations in my native Bulgarian, but this is not allowed right now. If you don't mind changing the setting allowing it - that'd be great. Thanks in advance!
I've decided that I love you. Thank you for your hard work.
Thanks, a good and interesting presentation,
thank you for these videos. im 16 and fallen in love with growing, starting up a market garden next year
That is awesome! Best wishes pursuing your garden dreams.
@@livingwebfarms you will hear of me in the future😊
Thank You!
I just discovered your channel and I love it! Thank you! A new subscriber
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying it!
Enjoying and learning at the same time! I wish the best for you. Thanks again
Great stuff! Once again
Amazing video,
Loved his book, going to change the way I farm/garden! When is the next video up?
The prices quoted in the book for his vegetables seem very inflated. Aside from that, the book was inspiring and informative.
I buy organic vegetables in Montreal and these prices in Canadian $ are correct. Organic, of course.
Hi there. Inspiring story. We live in south africa and hope to one day achieve the same you have. I'm an office worker, but gardening. As a kid i used to spend every second weekend on my uncles farm, however lack knowledge and experience. What would suppoze be the best, frist travel as you did to learn the ins and out, or start trying something? One of the comments said you have a book, where can one get a copy.
Notice what he says about the value of interns. Anyone experienced in business knows that interns and any new employee has negative value. Yet, the government in Canada decided that interns must be paid a minimum wage. So, now you can't get internships in Canada.
Magic, thank you!
JM, Love your video from Melbourne
Where do you buy your farming tools to turn the soil and harvest salad?
Very great video 👍 thanks and subs today 👍
Great ideas! I'm planning on starting a small farm soon. This helped a lot. I subscribed!
This is a Couple you can follow. One foot on the path.
really good intro music!
I love it! But we should all do hugelkulture to end carbon footprints
Hugelkulture is one of many ways to bring carbon back into the soil. This method increases soil carbon as well. If all big-ag switched over to methods like this or similar to this, the world would be far ahead of where it is now. A step in a positive direction is good progress. Multiple answers will bring the most change.
There is no sick rollout in hightower, what is this
I also came here expecting to learn how to chain jumps in pl_upward
Great job and I do love to get mine one..:D
Can I get this book in Japan? I wish he would visit Japan and see how he thinks of Japanese small farms!

Do you guys share a copy of your business plan to be able to use as a template? I'd like to do the same but it would be amazing to have a good starting point...I'd pay for a copy!
Amazing amazing let me in the future

lol i like the coment about the bankers ive just been having the same problem myself
Hard to be sure, but at 22:09, is that an earth-ship type wall made with pop cans?

I would like to do this in southern Arkansas but I don't think we have the market in the Deep South that you would find in more progressive parts of the world
Perrin Partee you will never have the market in the Deep South if nobody ever introduces it to the Deep South!! Someone has to be the first to start it so may as well be you but I’d venture to say it’s already there and you just don’t know about it.
My in-laws are in south Mississippi and it has been there for some time already and we also have family in Dierks but I’m not sure about that area yet.
Take the ball and run with it!! Good luck
Hi JM (or someone who can speak for him) do you know what the yield in pounds of kilos per metre square is on the farm?
DirtyPatch Heave lead me here; what can I say awesome
JM doesn't seem stoned in this video... haha love you JM
So, is the $150,000 what you net or grossed?
Was it 20- degree Farenheit or Celsius?
If it was F, I've got hope!
He meant minus 20 Celsius, which is pretty standard weather in South Quebec in Winter.
How does he protect himself from deer
People, to put things into perspective for me. Kindly let me know what is the typical earning per acre per year so that it becomes a bit clear if $100k is good or very good.
In the us, for a csa mixed vegetable farm the average is 17,500 per acre, for something like grain farming it’s only about $300 per acre which is why the only way to make real money with traditional farming is to have massive acreage.
@@moregardening5014 So 100 k is massive. it means JMF is doing something out of the league and definitely more interesting.
Great Video. When will part 2 be ready. Can I contact you by e-mail?
How to buy your book
When you BUY land in the US.... you are only buying the right to be present on that land. You really do not understand that you truly do not OWN that land. The city and county OWN that land ,and can tell you what you can and cannot do with it,.
Wow really?
@@samuelgamato971 Yes Neo. Wow. I haven't logged into this account in three years. And I see that only five days ago, you responded to a three-year old comment. Just wow dude. That's the ONLY youtube notification I have on this account for the last three years, too.
@@samuelgamato971not really, no. There are zoning laws sure but plenty of states and counties don't have many rules anyone would care about. Just normal expected rules like you can't dump poison into the water
I'm going to have to sign up for a internship so I can meet someone and cancel at the last minute. Lol
grandi!
where can i buy your book?

what music is that ?
He reminds me of Paul Rudd.

Does he have accent?
So you and your wife make 70,000 a year, 35,000 each.Wow that's a lot of work for 35 grand.

He says that is after paying his mortgage. That's pretty good.
+Can101276 They also get three months off.
+buyerofsorts And I'm sure they get a ton of free food.
+Can101276 Don't forget though, that money is after their business expenses are paid which include their land and home and their vehicles. Also they eat great fresh food and spend very little on groceries.
organics are beyond affordability of those who desperately need it. making lots of money off rich people who can afford and taking holidays doesnt sound like change to me. making a good living is understandable.
